Sample question:
Shown is the electric potential measured on the surface of a patient.
This potential is caused by electrical signals originating in the beating
heart. Why does the potential have this pattern, and what do these
measurements tell us about the heart’s condition?

E-field lines and Equipotential lines
E-field Lines
• Go from + charges to - charges
• Perpendicular at surface of conductor or charged surface
• E-field in stronger where E-field lines are closer together
• More charge means more lines
Equipotential Lines
• Parallel to conducting surface
• Perpendicular to E-field lines
• Near a charged object, that charges influence is greater, then blends as
you to from one to the other
• E-field is stronger where Equipotential lines are closer together
• Spacing represents intervals of constant elta V
• Higher potential as you approach a positive charge; lower potential as you
approach a negative charge
